Hi.  I would like to ask if someone could help me to transcript the lyrics of a song I found and I liked.
I tried to ask on another forum but it seems that icelandic is not a popular language to learn or to speak abroad, so noone ever answered me.  So I'll try my luck here.
Could a native icelander or someone who knows icelandic well enough help me to transcript this song's lyrics:
-----> https://soundcloud.com/search?q=norðanmenn   or   https://soundcloud.com/search?q=nor%C3%B0anmenn
I wish only the icelandic transcription.  No translation needed.
Thank you in advance
H.

Hello all!

I'm doing some wordwork and want to transcribe something in Icelandic on it. How would one say "The journey with you is home, and home is a curious place." Thank you!

Hi all,

Just needed some clarification on the translation of a quote I intend to get tattooed. I do not speak Icelandic but want the quote in that language. I have used google translate however I am not sure if it is 100% correct. The quote is "All life is precious". Google gave me "allt líf er dýrmætt".

Thanks in advance

It's "Góða kvöldið" which translates to "Good evening"

Hi everyone.

I'd like some help in translating stanza 76 and 77 from the Hávamál.
I know that there are several official English translations out there, but I'd love to see how a native Icelandic speaker would translate it. I know the texts are old, but I've heard that Icelandic people have no problem translating it, as the language have virtually not changed.

The texts are as following:
76.
Deyr fé,
deyja frændr,
deyr sjalfr it sama,
en orðstírr
deyr aldregi,
hveim er sér góðan getr.

77.
Deyr fé,
deyja frændr,
deyr sjalfr it sama,
ek veit einn,
at aldrei deyr:
dómr um dauðan hvern.

All inputs are appreciated! Thanks

The phrase "við inntökum" appears within a sentence which gives instructions to performing magic. Some benefit is intended and the only clue to what that benefit is "við inntökum".
One unverified translation is "for colic". The dictionary translation of "intake" does not fit.  The text appears in a manuscript that is presumed to have been written around 1800 ca.

"Við inntöku" means "By consumption" or "When consumed"

Hello i've been going crazy over the translation of this song if anyone could offer me help with the translation of the lyrics of the song i would be forever grateful

Hvort fann ég, Þig eða tímann
þarflaust að líma'nn
og ég held ég hafi aldrei áður komið mér í slíkan lás.

Því ég ann þér? Megi þér glíman
giskin við símann
verða hugrenningi í góðu eða hljóði svo þú verðir hás.

En ég veit að þó við séum eins á litinn
er veröld okkar sundurslitin
á baki þínu stendur að þú búist til að kveðja mig.
Og ég veit að hjarta mitt það er í miðið,
verulega sárt og sviðið,
og klofið eins og kilja,
þó ég kannski myndi vilja
að mér láist að skilja þig.

Hvort finn ég, þig eða tíma
til þess að glíma
við heimskulegar aðstæður sem enda þar til verð ég lens.

Hef ég nær þér nokkru sinn verið?
